WALK THE MOON – Shut Up And Dance

#
A+
A-

This song is from the album TALKING IS HARD(2014).
The powerful rhythm and the distorted guitars along with the synths are what makes this song such a fun song. The tempo feels a lot faster than the actual bpm. The chorus is really powerful and energetic, and the lyrics make it so hard not to dance. The vocals are live with energy, complimenting the music.
